About the Book

"...How fantastic is this book. I can't tell you how many of these games I played. Your book brought back such memories. Every parent needs to have this book..."

- Richard Simmons

"...Besides giving grandparents a blueprint for resurrecting these games with their own grandchildren, this book also may inspire us to step back and let the kids manage some of their game-playing on their own, the way we used to do..."

- Susan Adcox; About.com: Grandparents

In 8 short chapters, this collection of classic childhood games from the 1970s and 80s is all your children or grandhildren need to get their game on.

If you are a parent or grandparent who remembers your glory days of reigning King of Kick the Can, Master of Monkey in the Middle or Diva of Double Dutch, author Tom O'Leary says, "Bring it on!"

It's your turn to play - again and again. If you want your children to get fit and healthy - the old fashioned way, then here are the rules. Your children can have the same fun you had kicking the can, playing Red Rover, Blind Man's Bluff, Capture the Flag, Sardines and more.

In fact, RetroActive: Skip, Hop and Your Don't Stop (Games We Played) contains the rules for over 100 classic childhood games.

Tag! You're it!
About the Author: Tom O'Leary was born on a beautiful day in 1965 and grew up in a small town on a bank of the Hudson River in New York. He spent the first seventeen years of his life playing with his brother and friends in the streets, courtyards, backyards, sidewalks and porches of his neighborhood. When he was young, Tom smelled like creme cheese and jelly, had sticky fingers, dirty hands, a snotty nose and scraped knees. He defended the maple tree in his front yard from pirates and caught the cooties several times in the 1970s. He eventually left childhood behind, but still plays regularly. When his parents weren't looking, he bottled the spirit of his childhood and continues to use it liberally throughout his life. Now, you can get some too! Tom currently lives in Bellingham, Washington with his wife and three playful daughters. This is his first book. RetroActive: Skip, Hop and You Don't Stop (Games We Played) is a classic recipe for children to have fun and get active in play - the old fashioned way. It is also a nostalgic reminder for big kids like Tom everywhere around the world about how much fun they had playing in their neighborhoods when they were just a little younger.
